《The Jolly Bold Robber》歌词

[00:00:00] The Jolly Bold Robber - Brass Monkey

[00:00:30] Come all you good people that go out a-tippling

[00:00:35] I pray you give attention and listen to me song

[00:00:39] I'll sing you a ditty of a jolly bold robber

[00:00:44] Stood seven feet high in proportion quite strong

[00:00:49] Well he robbed Lawyer Morgan and old Lady Dawkings

[00:00:54] Five hundred bright guineas from each one of them

[00:00:59] And as he was a-strolling he spied a young sailor

[00:01:04] And bold as a lion he slewed up to him

[00:01:10] Hand over your money you saucy young sailor

[00:01:14] There's plenty of bulk in your pockets I see

[00:01:19] Aye aye said the sailor I've plenty of money

[00:01:23] But while I have life what I've got none for thee

[00:01:29] Well I just left me ship gave the press gang the slip

[00:01:34] And I'm off up to London me sweetheart to see

[00:01:39] With forty bright sovereigns to pay our sweet lodgings

[00:01:43] So I pray you bold robber don't take them from me

[00:01:52] But the robber caught hold of this gallant young sailor

[00:01:56] With a blow like a pole-axe felled him to the ground

[00:02:01] Aye aye said the sailor you struck me quite heavy

[00:02:05] But now I'll endeavour to repay you in kind

[00:02:14] So then both they stripped like tigers they skipped

[00:02:18] And they fought life for life like soldiers in the field

[00:02:23] But ninety-seventh meeting it was their completing

[00:02:28] But this gallant young sailor the robber he went killed

[00:02:36] And down then he looked on this blood-stained old robber

[00:02:41] I hope you'll forgive me old fellow says he

[00:02:45] But if I had just lifted one thousand bright guineas

[00:02:50] Well I'm damned if I'd have stopped a poor sailor like me
